Hayley Hoodie

Finally, pictures!  The Hayley Hoodie was finished a few weeks back and I've finally taken really bad camera photos for your viewing enjoyment. It's also reviewed on Ravelry.

This is my first garment and I learned a few things. First off, mark your rows. It seems so obvious now... Next bind off in purl.

I love this hoodie and will be making it again for friends.  The hoodie is behind the garment in this shot so it looks odd.  The way the light was coming in the window it looks worn.  Really, it's the clouds.



Hoodie is behind so it's lumpy.
Photos of me wearing someday...

Time Flies

Ok, it's really been since April 30th.  The Haylay hoodie is done and I've worn it several times with multiple compliments.  No pictures- camera battery charger is MIA.

Starting on the wedding dress.  After several responses, I've decided to wear the turquoise dress from the Montana wedding but will wear the shift for dinner that night.  I feel like such a princess to be switching outfits for one event.

Knitting-wise I started this top:

This is something I want to finish for my birthday celebration.  I think it will cute with little cap sleeves so I'm going to try to figure out out to make them from this pattern.  I think I might just extend the shoulder portion and add increases to make a sleeve.  Still thinking on this one since I'm still very new to knitting.  It's a beautiful pattern and is knitting up quickly so wish me luck.  Oh, the yarn, it's this one by Cascade Cotton Rich DK:  (I know, no originality in regards to color...)




Pictures of the progress on the shift this weekend... if I can find the charger.  ARGH!
